MNR conducting Lake Surveys


The Ministry of Natural Resources says it will have staff out on area lakes once again

this summer conducting fish surveys.

This year, the MNR says it will be concentrating on lakes in the areas south of Kenora
to Fort Frances and over towards Dryden.

MNR spokesperson Bill Towill says they usually try to study the lakes on a five year
cycle.

Towill says they use the information collected for the Ministry of the Environment's
guide to sports fishing, and also to make any changes to fishing regulations in the
region.
